The default behavior sould be fine, if all you want is 2-column
indentation in XHTML buffers.

Can you open a buffer in sgml-mode and then check the value of
the following variables?

    indent-tabs-mode
    tab-always-indent

Then use `C-h k TAB' and see what TAB is bound to do.

Keep the results from these steps somewhere, and then repeat the
same steps with an Emacs session started with:

    emacs -Q

Keep these results somewhere too and post both sets back to the
newsgroup.
